About creating a database

Microsoft Access provides two methods to create a database. You can create a blank database and then add the tables, forms, reports, and other objects later — this is the most flexible method, but it requires you to define each database element separately. Or you can use a Database Wizard to create in one operation the required tables, forms, and reports for the type of database you choose — this is the easiest way to start creating your database. Either way, you can modify and extend your database at any time after it has been created.
